NEW SIRES

A runaway Group 1 winner at two who went on to be classic-placed at three, Morandi is an early stallion son of the notably successful international sire Holy Roman Emperor (by Danehill). He is a half-brother to the stakes-placed filly Vita (by Elusive City), and, like Triple Threat, he begins his new career at Haras du Mont Goubert near Deauville.

The grey is out of Vezina (by Bering), a full-sister to the stakes-placed Vezing and half-sister to Group 3 Prix Fille de l'Air scorer Marie De Ken (by Kendor). That talented filly has been a notable success at stud as she is the dam of the Grade 1-placed Grade 2-winning miler Charmo (by Charnwood Forest) and of Ana Marie (by Anabaa), the Group 2 Prix d'Harcourt scorer who earned placings in the Group 1 Prix de Diane (French Oaks), Group 1 Nassau Stakes and Group 1 Prix Vermeille.

Ana Marie is the dam of the Group 1-placed stakes winner Ana Americana (by American Post), while Marie Glitters (by Crystal Glitters), a half-sister to Marie De Ken and Vezina, is the dam of two listed races winners in France and of a mare whose blacktype-winning descendants include the Group 3 Prix Gontaut-Biron scorer Petit Chevalier (by High Chaparral).

Ordenstreue (by Orsini), the third dam of Morandi, was the champion three-year-old filly in Germany in 1965, when she won the Preis der Diana (German Oaks), and her string of successful runners features Dom Alaric (by Sassafras), a Canadian champion who won the Group 2 Grand Prix de Deauville before going on to win at the same level in his adopted home.​

Dom Alaric was also multiple Grade 1-placed, he went to stud at Windfields Farm, and he sired a dozen individual stakes winners, along with a high proportion of winners to runners. His grandam, Ordinate (by Nebelwerfer), won the Deutsches St Leger in 1959.
